While the butcher shop was still open, Shen Lin used the meat stamps he collected this morning to buy a pound of fat meat. He could make some lard when he got home and it would be delicious for cooking.
"Shen Lin, I'm buying meat!" As soon as he entered the door, he ran into Aunt Chen. She looked at Shen Lin's two meat cuts hanging on the handlebars and said in surprise.
At this time, eating meat not only costs money, but also requires votes, so anyone who eats meat will make their neighbors envious for a while.
The Shen Lin family ate fish the day before yesterday, ate chicken yesterday, and meat today...
Aunt Chen looked at the meat in Shen Lin's hand and couldn't help but think of the half bowl of fish soup Shen Lin gave her two days ago.
The old man in the family originally had a loss of appetite because he was ill, but when faced with the basin of fish soup, he drank three large bowls in one go.
"Aunt Chen, I think the meat today is pretty good, so I bought two of it." When Shen Lin said this, he suddenly stopped the car and said, "By the way, I was going to find you."
While talking, Shen Lin took out twenty-five dollars from his pocket and said, "Aunt, this is the rent I owe you. Count it."
Aunt Chen looked at the big unity handed over by Shen Lin and couldn't believe it for a moment.
According to her idea, it would take at least half a month for Shen Lin to pay back the rent, but she did not expect that Shen Lin would pay back the rent so quickly.
"Shen Lin, this... don't be in a hurry..."
Although she said this, Aunt Chen's hand was tightly holding the twenty-five yuan handed over by Shen Lin.
Shen Lin smiled and said: "Auntie, I'm so sorry. I have to thank you very much for allowing me so many days."
After chatting for a few more times, Shen Lin pulled the car and walked towards home.
"Tsk, tsk, today's young people are incredible. Yesterday they ate chicken and today they buy meat. If you don't know, they think they are celebrating the New Year!"
“I’m not willing to make things like this during the Chinese New Year!”
"Where did Shen Lin get this money? He was fired from the factory. How can he have money to eat?"
"Haha, you can't even tell? What Shen Lin has in his car is a color TV. Think about it, how can he afford a color TV now?"
"You said he stole it?"
"Haha, you said this yourself, I didn't."
Aunt Chen, who was walking behind Shen Lin, suddenly felt her head buzzing as she listened to the neighbors' comments.
Although she was willing to help Shen Lin with a few words of defense, the money in Shen Lin's hands was really unjustifiable for Shen Lin, a wealthy man.
At the moment, he didn't care to listen to the neighbors' gossip, and hurriedly took the money given by Shen Lin and returned home.
Cut the fat into small pieces of two to three centimeters square, clean it, put it in a wok, add half a bowl of water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Then turn to low heat and simmer slowly. Shen Lin fantasized about the infinite uses of this lard. If one day I get a bag of white flour, steam a few steamed buns, and rub a small piece of lard into the dough, the steamed buns will definitely be puffy, white, sweet and delicious.
Shen Lin has been pampered since he was a child, so he doesn't know about this procedure. But he is greedy and has a bad mouth, and he especially likes to eat lard residue. The fragrant, delicious, crisp and delicious lard residue, eating it directly will make people have endless aftertaste. Add a few green peppers and stir-fry it, and it becomes even more delicious, crispy, fragrant, and delicious with rice.
Or sprinkle the oily residue with cumin or chili powder, it will be enough to make your mouth water. But unfortunately, we only have big chili peppers at home now, and it is not easy to make chili noodles.
Let’s use the oil residue to stir-fry something!
Just as Shen Lin's fried spinach was being put into the pot, Lu Xiaorong opened the door and walked in. Lu Xiaorong, who had been tired for a day, smelled the fragrant aroma and felt that his head had been hit hard. impact.
Shen Lin is cooking!
There is something delicious today!
Lu Xiaorong walked towards the kitchen almost instinctively. Looking at the golden oil residue on the white plate, Lu Xiaorong had the urge to take a bite.
"Hey, wife, take a bite." Shen Lin pinched a piece of oil residue and put it to Lu Xiaorong's mouth diligently.
Lu Xiaorong instinctively opened his mouth, and swallowed the golden oil residue into his mouth. It was really crispy and refreshing, and he was very satisfied.
For a moment, Lu Xiaorong felt that he was so happy that he was dizzy. Shen Lin, this man actually learned to feed himself!
A warm current of sweetness and grievance surged through his heart. Lu Xiaorong subconsciously took a step back and said incoherently: "You...why did you buy meat?"
"I want to eat it," Shen Lin said casually: "Daughter-in-law, this oil residue is crispy and fragrant, don't you want to eat it?"
Lu Xiaorong licked his lips and said honestly: "But we just ate fish and chicken, wouldn't it be too wasteful to buy meat again?"
"It's okay, it's my great cause to keep my wife well fed. Just leave her alone!" Shen Lin teased while cooking.
Lu Xiaorong suddenly felt that the man in front of him had really changed for the better.
Just when she was thinking about taking another bite of oil residue, a nauseating impulse suddenly arose in her heart. This disgusting feeling made Lu Xiaorong take a deep breath and suppress it.
What's wrong with me? Is it really a fate of suffering? I can't eat meat and must be a vegetarian?
Thinking of this reaction for several days, Lu Xiaorong felt helpless!
Under the dim light, Lu Xiaorong listened to the radio happily, while Shen Lin was repairing the 17-inch color TV.
Without the tools at hand, even though Shen Lin had superb skills in his previous life, it was still difficult to find the problem quickly.
At this time, he had no choice but to hold an electric pen and try little by little...
While listening to the radio, Lu Xiaorong silently watched Shen Lin busy. This rhythm made him very satisfied.
It was another early morning. Shen Lin, who had been busy repairing the color TV until one o'clock last night, still managed to get up. But when he saw the big color TV that he had repaired with a few simple small parts, he felt full It's all a sense of accomplishment.
This big color TV will definitely make you a lot of money.
But in the morning market, it doesn’t seem to be that easy to sell.
After briefly washing up and taking a few sips of water, Shen Lin took a radio and came to his seat in the morning market again. At this time, the morning market was already full of people coming and going, buying and selling. The sounds came and went one after another.
When Shen Lin arrived, someone was already waiting there. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a pair of square-framed glasses. After he saw Shen Lin, the glasses fell on Shen Lin's On the radio: "Young man, is this the radio you want to sell?"
"Yes, I just repaired this radio yesterday. There is absolutely no problem with the quality." As Shen Lin spoke, he took the initiative to turn on the radio, and clear sound sounded directly from the radio.
The middle-aged man took the radio and adjusted it a few times, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. But he immediately put away his smile and said to Shen Lin: "Young man, this radio is a little old. How much are you going to sell it for?" ?”
"Uncle, a new radio like this costs forty or fifty yuan. I only charge you fifteen yuan here, and I can guarantee that the warranty will be within one year." Shen Lin is not averse to counter-offers. After all, he sells things. , we must allow others to bargain.
Just as he was discussing the price of a second-hand radio with the middle-aged man wearing glasses, he saw two policemen in old-fashioned police uniforms quickly rushing to him.
Before Shen Lin could react, the policeman said: "Shen Lin, come with me!"
